Seth Lugo struggles in no-decision vs. Angels

Seth Lugo

KC Starting Pitcher #67

Player Stats

Seth Lugo struggled in a no-decision against the Angels on Friday evening, allowing five runs on seven hits across 4 2/3 innings.

Lugo struck out four hitters on the night and didn’t walk a batter. He cruised through the first two innings unscathed but ran into a buzzsaw in the third inning. The Angels loaded the bases with one out against him when Lugo struck out Mike Trout. Nolan Schanuel followed with a three-run double though and Zach Neto added an RBI single to push four runs across. The Halos added another run while chasing him in the fifth. Lugo got seven whiffs on 86 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll bring a disappointing 4.59 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into Wednesday’s matchup against the Athletics.

Seth Lugo yielded three runs in six innings Saturday in a win over the Cubs.

This is Lugo’s victory for the month of August, if form holds; he had one in March/April, one in May, one in June and one in July. Oddly enough, four of his five victories have come against NL teams. His only previously win in American League game came in May versus the Mariners. Given all this, it seems nearly impossible that he’ll beat the Angels next weekend. Though, maybe the fact that he’s facing the Angels will trump all of that.

Seth Lugo allowed five runs in five innings in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

Lugo really struggled to locate his stuff Sunday, as he issued five walks and threw just 52-of-99 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has been a significant disappointment in 2026, and this lackluster effort now has his ERA up to 4.41 to go with a 4-7 record. Assuming he’s not moved before the deadline — which is hard to envision right now — Lugo will be back on the bump against the Cubs over the weekend.

Seth Lugo allowed just one run in six innings, but didn’t factor into the decision against the Twins on Tuesday.

Lugo allowed six hits and walked a pair, and he fanned just two. Even without much swing-and-miss, the 36-year-old was able to keep the Twins off the board sans an RBI single in the fourth by Josh Bell. It’s been a disappointing season for Lugo by his standards, but he has now gone four straight starts without allowing more than three runs, and it’s lowered his ERA to 4.22 in the process. He’ll face the Rockies in Colorado on Sunday.

Seth Lugo yielded three runs and three hits over seven innings Wednesday against the Giants.

In what had been a scoreless game, Lugo allowed a run in the sixth and then two in the seventh, seemingly putting himself in line for a loss. However, the Royals came back with five in the bottom of the seventh and got Lugo his first win since June 19 and fourth in 21 starts this year. He’ll carry a 4.36 ERA into his next start in Minnesota.

Seth Lugo allowed four hits and two runs – one earned – with two walks and three strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday.

It felt dicey at times, but Lugo grinded his way to a quality start here. While he allowed nine hard-hit balls, most of those were on the ground as he did a good job of keeping the ball low. It was also fun to see the wily vet reach back and pull out four of his eight hardest pitches – and his only one above 95 mph – in a fifth inning where the Padres rallied. He now has a 4.39 ERA with 89 walks and 36 strikeouts through 110 2/3 innings on the season and is lined up to face the Giants at home next time out.

Seth Lugo pitched decently in a no-decision against the Orioles on Sunday afternoon, giving up two runs on four hits in just four innings of work.

Lugo piled up six strikeouts on the afternoon while walking two batters. He struggled with his command though, needing 89 pitches to navigate four innings, which caused his early exit. The damage done against him came on a two-run blast by Leody Taveras in the second inning. Lugo got 11 swings and misses on the afternoon, posting a CSW of 31 percent. He wraps up an inconsistent first half with a 4.56 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and an 86/34 K/BB ratio over 104 2/3 innings through his first 19 starts.

Seth Lugo was slammed for nine runs — six earned — in 4 1/3 innings by the Mets on Tuesday.

Lugo made his own trouble in the first, when he committed the first of the Royals’ three errors on a three-run infield debacle. After that, though, it was mostly just him getting hit hard. A.J. Ewing hit a two-run homer in the second, and Juan Soto delivered a three-run blast in the fourth. It’s the third time this year that Lugo has given up at least seven runs. He’s allowed two earned runs or fewer in 10 of 18 turns, but the blowups have left him with a 4.56 ERA. He’ll face the Orioles on Sunday.

Seth Lugo surrendered three runs in six innings Wednesday in a loss to the Rays.

Lugo gave up two homers, two doubles and five singles, but he was able to limit the damage by walking none (though he did hit a batter) and striking out seven. He still hasn’t fanned more than seven in a game this season, but he has now reached that total four times. The quality start tonight was his 10th, yet he has a 3-6 record to show for it. He’ll face his old friends the Mets in New York next week.

Seth Lugo was lit up for seven runs and three homers in five innings against the Rays on Thursday.

Coming into June, Lugo had allowed three homers in a game just twice in his career. Now he’s done it twice this month, as he also gave up three to the Twins three weeks ago. Lugo’s still had more good starts than bad this year, but that he’s given up seven runs twice and five runs twice has inflated his ERA to 4.18. He’ll face the Rays again at home next week.

Seth Lugo allowed five hits and two runs – one earned – with three walks and zero strikeouts across six innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Well, getting a quality start and win here from Lugo was great. It just oddly came with zero strikeouts. In fact, he only forced four total swings-and-misses and no individual pitch had more than one. He’s never had a start without recording at least one strikeout in his entire big league career and now has just 66 through 85 1/3 innings on the season. He’s scheduled to face the Rays on the road next time out and hopefully he can record one punch out against them.

Severino has been out since May 30 with a strained shoulder. He’s back throwing now, but he hasn’t advanced to the point to make a return in the next 6 1/2 weeks seem realistic. Perhaps things would be different if the A’s were a contender and had incentive to bring him back as a reliever.
